|| Whither Democracy Triumph In Myanmar? ||
As expected, Aung San Suu Kyi has led her National League for Democracy to a landslide victory in the Myanmar elections, winning more seats in the two house of the Htulaw, the countrys bicameral parliament, than in the last election. Clearly, Suu Kyis appeal has not just remained undiminished over five years of incumbency, it has increased. Her first electoral triumph in 1990 led to her imprisonment by the military junta for most part of the next two decades. In 2015, three years after Suu Kyis release, when Myanmar voted in its first open election, there was never any doubt that the NLD would emerge the victor. This time too, despite a range of grievances against the NLD government, Suu Kyi has prevailed. Her double promise of making a full transition to democracy and take the country back from the Army, and to arrive at a peace deal with the armed ethnic minorities waging war in the border areas, were both stuck. However, Suu Kyis defiance of the international community over the Rohingya issue won her support at home. Her party has decisively trounced the Union of Solidarity and Development Party, the military-backed party whose members are mostly retired soldiers, despite a toxic and communal campaign that targeted Suu Kyi and NLD as favouring the Rohingya and the Muslim community.
